        Notepad++ developers aren’t going to spend their time making something inside Notepad++ that is supported (and very well supported) outside (plugin).

            @Alan-Kilborn I did not know of Phytonscript. It is not part of the basic package, isn’t it? Any other script language can be used with Notepad++? Where can I fond docs?

                @Ekopalypse I installed JN and I got a lot of new menu which looks like quite cryptic. I cannot find a clear documentation of available API or a User Manual. Can you give me a link to any document could help me to develop JS for Notepad++? Of course, I already know JS but I need a reference of NPP API’s. Thank you in adavnce.

                  https://github.com/sieukrem/jn-npp-plugin/wiki << just press (Pages 10) button in right site. And for API you see description:

                  API documentation you find in plugins/jn/API/api.xml

                  But I’m not sure if this api.xml still exist in actual JN version. I have old copy but can’t upload here.

                  jN is “specific” because add entries in Menu bar (not in Plugin menu), they cannot be accessed from other plugins, etc. By default, it adds a lot of scripts, if you do not need them, create another folder in the NPP\plugins\jN\jN\includes directory (e.g. _off) and put unnecessary scripts in it (or remove them).

                    I got api.xml but I found really few info, just related to menus. What I am looking for are NPP API’s. For example, I want to duplicate current file, so I want to know which are the methods equivalent to

                    Ctrl-A
                    Ctrl-C
                    Get current name to define a new one -> newName = myOwnFuncToGenerate(currName)
                    Get current folder in case “follow current document” is NOT set --> currFolder
                    Get current language to use the same ->currLang
                    Ctrl-N
                    Ctrl-V
                    Set language to currLang
                    Save as newName in currFolder

                    What I cannot find is a REFERENCE to Editor methods and similar.

                      I have no experience with this plugin, I only mentioned it because you were looking for a js alternative.
                      A quick search at github revelead this and the documentation about these functions can be found here.

                        In api.xml you have some commands for IEditor, you can also check existing scripts have they use this obj.
                        runMenuCmd(cmd) - runs a specified build-in menu command of Notepad++.

                          @ArkadiuszMichalski It looks like there is no way to get current file language and set new file to same langua. So gain, what is really missing in Notepad++ is a specific macro language. This plugin is quite cumbersome to use and badly documented.

                            Not all plugins are created equal.
                            You do know that plugins are not created/maintained by the same team that does Notepad++, right?

                            So (a)gain, what is really missing in Notepad++ is a specific macro language.

                            I think if you try a scripting plugin that is well-done (Pythonscript, LuaScript), you’ll find that your “again” statement is “not strong”.
